You'll usually here "pressing charges" as in "I'm pressing charges." Even "I pressed charges." But, your sentences would be much better if you replace "pressed on/ pressed with" with:

-Imprisoned: "He was imprisoned because of charges."
-Incarcerated: "Because of the charges against him, he'll be incarcerated."
-In prison/jail (You'll probably hear this more often than the two above.)
-Behind bars (This is newspaper slang for being in jail. People might say it, but unless you think you have a good command of the slang, you might not want to.
